Last week even Yeltsin seemed to have taken on too much in the war with his old enemies in the Duma, Russia's lower parliamentary body. The day before impeachment discussions opened, Yeltsin fired his popular Prime Minister, Yevgeni Primakov. Primakov was officially dismissed because of the President's concern about the slow pace of economic change. In fact he was dropped because he broke all the rules in his relations with Yeltsin.

Berezovsky, one of the most influential and feared figures in the world of Russian business and politics, ignored the warnings. Now he is discovering how dangerous Primakov can be. A series of police raids, news leaks and crackdowns on major corporations owned or controlled by Berezovsky has left him fighting for his political life--and possibly his freedom. Press reports, leaked by the Federal Security Service, TIME was told, accuse Berezovsky...
